My Nonprofit Reviews

I'm an animal law attorney in the D.C. metropolitan area, where there is a significant, growing population of homeless and near-homeless folks. I've watched people in my community 'transition' from being 'middle-class' to being homeless in a matter of weeks or months. Most homeless shelters don't allow pets and many homeless folks are faced with the horrible choice between losing a beloved companion to a shelter, where the pet may be first in line for the gas chamber as an "owner givaway" or taking the pet to a feral colony and hoping for the best---the odds disfavor the elderly and infirm. Thank goodness for Feeding The Pets of the Homeless; this service has more value than we can quantify in raw dollars and cents, which I would gladly contribute if I (and my four elderly cats) weren't standing on the precipice of homelessness ourselves.
